Online History Resources

Resource Clearinghouses

These sites will provide a number of individual history resources, often with lesson plans and teaching aids.

http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/This is the Library of Congress and in addition to primary source materials it also provides lesson plans. There are some concerning African American history which might tie in with the Zora Hurston book.

http://smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/history_culture.htmlThe Smithsonian's educator site -- interesting item -- the first lesson on the list is a Rutgers student college yearbook. The student is from Texas in 1860 and some of the yearbook inscriptions pertain to regional divisions in the country. There is a lesson plan, and a large poster of yearbook inscriptions and a timeline that go along with it.

http://chnm.gmu.edu/cyh/Children and Youth in History site from George Mason University has a number of useful online collections.

Individual or Stand Alone Resources

These sites were created by individual scholars or locations and are not part of larger organizations. There are a large number of stand alone sites. This list is intended simply to provide some examples.
